Love this track!
I don't have the Sire 45 to compare, but I think Have A Nice Day Vol. 23 (1996) is the 45 version, running 3:16. The three breakdowns in this version are yodel/flute/accordion. The sound is OK on this track - a tiny bit of clipping, and a little muffled. The muffled part (especially in this series) leads me to think that these aren't the lowest-generation source tapes, but the song still sounds OK.
The full LP version goes on for 6:39, which I think is way entirely too long for this song.
There's a different edit of the LP version on Time-Life's Guitar Rock - 1972-1973 (1994), which runs 3:26, but uses different (and probably incorrect) pieces of the LP version in a (probably) incorrect attempt to recreate the 45. The three breakdowns are yodel/flute/yodel. No accordion in this edit. This 3:26 version first appeared on JCI's Electric Seventies, which I don't have. Sound is also OK - not the lowest-generation source tapes.
Anyone have the 45 to check the three breakdowns?

Ron, my promo 45 confirms your yodel/flute/Weird Al breakdown. :)
Yes, it is a great track, but somehow, it's never been the same to me ever since the skewering it received as part of the "Art Rock Suite" on National Lampoon's Good-bye Pop LP in 1975. Yodel/drums/yodel/drums. They nailed it in a mere twelve seconds.

I've never heard that - that's really funny! I'll have to hunt down the NL album!
I had a friend in college in the mid-'80s when I was first getting started on the radio. He found out that I played pop stuff, and immediately asked if I had "Hocus Pocus" by Focus, which I didn't. Then immediately asked if I had Bruce Cockburn's "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", which I also didn't. Too bad I didn't stay in touch with him - in hindsight, he had great taste in pop.

Just to get a little more..it's accordion-whistling.:)
The Baby Driver soundtrack, the first film I've heard it in, uses:
yodel/yodel/yodel/(re-arranged)accordion-whislting/flute. THen again the single was a re-arrangement with the "cackling/laughing" guitar at the end acutally originally before the flute.
BTW listening to the long (6:42) version. The popeye gibberish.:)

Steve are you indicating that the version on O.S.T. Baby Driver is not the 45 version? It appears to my ears to be the 45 version.

It is, but it's a different version, as it apears in the film (three yodels, and the accordion/whistling, which on the single is the last, coming after the flute, instead comes before the flute, duriong the wild car-break.:))
Hope that clears it up. (very good movie..)

BTW On the single the first yodel is edited out..the
reason I know it's the SECOND yodel on the single is
ONLY yodel, NO backup BASS guitar underneath LOL!

That alternate edit Ron speaks of was played on my local
radio station way back in 1973. I don't know where it
came from as i've never been able to track it down on
anything other than that JCI CD. In fact, I prefer it
over the hit single edit with the accordion break.

Pat has the track labeled as the correct 45 edit but running slow so looks like it's simply a speed issue with that one. BTW, welcome to the board.
